Surely for you,Intelsat's map will not say anything,because it covers very well Europe's western area.Instead,it is a huge challenge for Southeast Europe dxers because, as you see on the map, the signal does not even touch it area.I would say that it is almost impossible to consider a fringe area,which is confirmed by the satellite map.But the signal does not want to enter the patterns of those who make it,so searching for areas where it is not provided is an adventure,or rather,a challenge. And I think this is the main motivation of all those who,like us,are trying to capture what is impossible with our equipment.And if you succeed,satisfaction is immense.
By this banal comment,I open the topic dedicated to Intelsat 907,with the hope that especially the the enthusiasts in this space of Europe will tell us what reception experiences have with this satellite.For them,but also for many amateur,BBC package is a "forbidden fruit" which they do not pick it up due to the difficult reception conditions.
I apologize to the moderator if there is a similar topic.But I assure him I did not find it with the Search engine on this forum.
But now I want to check if you lock the signal on 11682 V,which has a very low symbol rate-90 Ks,just like with 11692 V,with s.r. of 88Ks,which Crazyscan does not find them,but only with IQmonitor. @Feedsat_DXer confirmed the existence of 11692 V,for which I thank him,but for the second trps,11682 V,I'm still not sure if it,s real or fake?The signal is surprisingly high on these two transponders if we take into account the coverage map.It is true that we are in the winter season,most favorable for reception.And for this reason it seems that challenge does not come from the signal,it is the applications that we use-CC,EBS,IQmonitor,etc. It is rather a performance of these applications and less of our reception equipment.In others words,for you,at the center of the spot,it is a problem of app it used,but for the south-estern Europeans,first challennge is the reception of the signal and only than of these software.What do you think?
Of course I'm interested from the latter to post the signal that they have in their area of reception of Intelsat 907.
Thanks in advance :D

I can't help with the demodulation but there are a lot of signals that look similar in that frequency range, including the two that you mention.

There are also a lot of ~40kHz wide ones

In Southern Italy (Potenza, Basilicata) the reception of 11495 V 44910 with a 3.4m Prodelin prime focus antenna was checked some weeks ago. The signal quality measured was 10.5 dB
on a receiver Dr F-15 (the threshold is 6.8 d:cool:. In Bari (Southern Italy) 2.4 m is the minimum antenna size for a 7/24 reception.
